A One of my favourite DHE variations -  you simply can't go wrong with a nice dirty, filthy, sooty olive! Great at practically any time of year, regardless of hatches. Scale this one up to size 10 or even 8 for a superb dry mayfly pattern.

I also found a good use for that godawful stuff known as 'Nano Silk' when I designed this pattern - I used it as a rib. It's strong, light and has a nice subdued shine to it. Perfect for ribbing dry flies, but pretty much useless for anything else!
